 I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I  told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and  offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old  dog in their home.
 As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they  thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to  observe the procedure. They felt as … (17 comments)

Like most of you I have been reading about Greece, The EU and The Euro, trying to make sense of it.  It hasn’t been easy.  I read an article recently that clarified matters for me.  Let me quote from it:
